DRM issue: Sounds like the complaint when people get a speeding ticket and complain that the cop was behind the billboard and thats not fair. Sounds like someone is really straining to draw an analogy. Fail.
The point was made.
We all know that the copying, sharing thing is not legal... "We"? Speak for yourself there, sport.
So you feel its legal. Thats not surprising.
... just buying a used CD off eBay can be looked at as stealing... Huh? I mean, really... WTH??!!
I knew that would be beyond your comprehension. Let me explain: You can buy CDs used off eBay very cheap. Even new releases way below retail price. So the person selling them had to get them at below retail in order to make a profit. Now they are getting their money back + profit. Do you think they are sending little checks to the record companies and record producers? No. So one CD can be bought and sold by lets say 10 people the artist gets paid once when they should of gotten paid 10 times.
This recent Sony issue will probably fade away like other attempts have untill a happy medium can come about that will make consumers, artists, producers and everyone involved happy. Wow. You must be rich... being that you speak for, well, everyone.
Huh? Oh...right only YOU want to be happy you could care less about others.
Which will not be anytime soon as I see it. I sure would like to have a piece of the action of the guy the figures out a solution to all this. Heh. That's hilarious. I am going to always remember how you phrased that. Snicker. Snort. Guffaw. Howl.
You don't think the guy who solves this problem will make a mint? If I were you I would be trying to come up with a solution. But thats not your style. You just complain. Nothing ever positive.
